I bought it off the sale but I cannot use it effectively at all. How to fly it, should I climb or stay close to the ground? I only know that I need to keep my speed up.
#How to play the Su-11?

You are pretty much a normal mig-15 at 7.3, you can just play energy on every one. you can play vertical looping fights with almost everyone if you make sure people don't catch you off guard when you are slow. It turns better than a lot of jets at high speed also. DEFYN has a Su-11 video you can watch as refrence to the play style.

I already found this video myself but it didn't teach what to do in the beginning of a match. Just climb to 4 km?
I also have watched his "basic" tutorials many times earlier and have gotten better because of them.

I usually just take off from the airfield and after reaching 600km/hr I just climb at 10 degrees until I find people, usually gets me up to 3k-4k.
In the Su-11 you don't really have to care about your positioning too much since you can either out turn or out energy almost everything in existence

Alright, will try it again during weekend.

Have you got any other tips? Can't get the feel of the plane for some reason.

Uhh, idk I usually just play energy it's hard to explain. I mean you will die if you just run head on into a 1v3.
I mean if you put your self into bad situations and loose all your energy you will die pretty often. Maybe you are just getting tunnel visioned. Su-11 is great in a 1v1 but most of the time you will get 3rd partied.
The guns you just have to lead more than you think
I usually wait until the majority of the enemy team is spotted before choosing a target

Actually, in a few matches I have survived the whole match while flying at 2km and haven't gotten more than maybe one kill.
Like, I have tried to 3rd party other's 1v1 fights.
And when I fly higher, let's say 5km, I don't know what to do for Me 163, Kikka or any american jets. They just bonk me and I can't hit a shot.

It could be that you are just being too passive, sometimes I like to just go suicidal and die alot in stock planes to get used to how they handle and learn what they are good or bad at. It could just be that you are not used to the Su-11.
For the Me-163 you can't really do much against them other than out running them and seeing if you can catch them off guard later. Most american jets can out turn you in the first few turns so you just have to dodge the first 2 turns most of the time and then bring them vertical. The Su-11 like the Me-262 is really good at rolling scissor fights since it keeps its energy fairly well. Once you get them slow you can just start going vertical and then come back around on them most of the time. You will win most long fights in a 1v1.
You could also be committing to fights instead of pulling off and going back around. If you commit to a close quarters knife fight you will dump your energy. I play it more passive and just do hit and runs on most people, unless I can single them out alone.

The most important thing for me is to play it regularly and don't play other things in between so you get used to aiming the cannons, which are (along with it having no airbrake) it's only disatvantage
